Your task is to choose one of the common items shown in the stimulus section below. (or a teacher-approved equivalent if you do not have access to one).
Then you will need to:
1.
Determine and confirm the validity of the capacity stated on the packaging of product.
2.
Determine the amount of material it takes to make the original package in volume.
3.
Come up with a new package / container design that will have the same capacity of product as the original but uses less packaging material. You should consider the practicality of your new design though it should not be a major discussion point in your report.
4.
Report on the process you have used in coming up with your new solution (in the typical PSMT report format shown diagrammatically over page).
5.
Provide mathmatisation of your solution in your report writing and a statement of solution showing a % reduction in materials in your SOLVE.
6.
Choose only the packaging items in the stimulus. If you have not got access to one to measure it, consult with your teacher to get approval for that packaging time.

Technology must be used to solve for your solution. All diagrams must be drawn using technology – not hand drawn. You need to show a complex use of technology in your report.
